"Shine Your Light" lyrics
Shine, shine your light on me
Ancestors, can you shine your light on me?
Shine your light on me, shine your light on me
I dug too deep, I dug too deep, this can't be me, we can't be free
You think that you got it bad right now, but life gon' hit, just wait and see
Ancestors, can you shine your light on me?
Shine your light on me, please, shine your light on me
I dug too deep, I dug too deep, the history, the major keys
You think that you got it bad right now, but the game gets rigged every day we breathe
Ancestors, can you shine your light on me?
Before they burn the books like the Art of War, control our narratives and starve the poor
I'm walking through these open doors
I know they censor information, so patiently I record it more; I threw the old me overboard
Ancestors, can you shine your light on me?
They tricked us out our spot with strategic manipulation
I'm a part of this; on my heart, it be hard to be low-vibrated
I had questions, and I needed answers about how far we relocated; now I'm asking
Ancestors, can you shine your light on me?
Shine your light on me, shine your light on me
I dug too deep, I dug too deep, this can't be me, we can't be free
You think that you got it bad right now, but life gon' hit, just wait and see
Ancestors, can you shine your light on me?
Shine your light on me, please, shine your light on me
I dug too deep, I dug too deep, the history, the major keys
You think that you got it bad right now, but the game gets rigged every day we breathe
Ancestors, can you shine your light on me?
'Cause when you do, I feel like Jordan at the free throw doing a fadeaway
I learn of things that you consume and give your mental wage away
It's different when you drop a glass plate or a paper plate
Ancestors, can you shine your light on me?
My heart healing, but sometimes I feel like my soul shatter
I dug too deep when I start opening them closed chapters
Before I knew my role, now I'm molding my role after
Ancestors, can you shine your light on me?
Shine your light on me, shine your light on me
I dug too deep, I dug too deep, this can't be me, we can't be free
You think that you got it bad right now, but life gon' hit, just wait and see
Ancestors, can you shine your light on me?
Shine your light on me, please, shine your light on me
I dug too deep, I dug too deep, the history, the major keys
You think that you got it bad right now, but the game gets rigged every day we breathe
Ancestors, can you shine your light on me?
Ancestors, can you shine your light on me?
Shine your light on me, shine your light on me
I dug too deep, I dug too deep, this can't be me, we can't be free
You think that you got it bad right now, but life gon' hit, just wait and see
Ancestors, can you shine your light on me?
Shine your light on me, please, shine your light on me
I dug too deep, I dug too deep, the history, the major keys
You think that you got it bad right now, but the game gets rigged every day we breathe
Ancestors, can you shine your light on me?
Before they burn the books like the Art of War, control our narratives and starve the poor
I'm walking through these open doors

Shine your light on me, shine your light on me
I dug too deep, I dug too deep, this can't be me, we can't be free
You think that you got it bad right now, but life gon' hit, just wait and see
Ancestors, can you shine your light on me?
Shine your light on me, please, shine your light on me

You think that you got it bad right now, but the game gets rigged every day we breathe
Ancestors, can you shine your light on me?
